在金属熔化前,先用计算机的分析程序预测铸件可能出现的缺陷,这将取得很大的经济效果。铸工场可以利用这套软件预测出铸件的收缩缺陷。铸件可以是小零件,也可以是大至20 t的合金钢铸件和150 t的灰铁铸件。这套软件名叫Solstar。一家法国的铸工场使用Solstar预测一件18 t重的合金钢汽轮机外壳的缺陷,所预测到的20处收缩缺陷100%正确。 Before melting the metal, computer analysis of the program to predict the possible defects of the casting, which will achieve great economic results. The foundry can use this software to predict shrinkage of castings. The castings can be small parts, alloy steel castings up to 20 t and gray iron castings up to 150 t. This software is called Solstar. A French foundry used Solstar to predict defects in an 18 t heavy alloy steel turbine casing, predicting 100% of the 20 shrinkage defects were correct.
